Three best weekend hobby ideas

After a super-long work week, you need a complete digital detox. Craft projects can be hugely relaxing and give you a sense of reclaiming your creative side, not to mention a sense of achievement. Here are three you can try this weekend.

Glass painting Take an old glass jam jar or a mason jar and clean it well. Take a black glass painting outliner and draw a mosaic pattern on it. With a thin brush, fill the mosaic squares with different colours.Colour a few squares at a time. You do not want the paint to run.Once a section dries, move on to the next. This may take a few hours.Once the paint has dried, place a candle inside the jam jar and hang it on your balcony.

DecoupageTake a wooden tray and paint it in a colour of your choice. Once the paint has dried, cut out motifs like a bunch of flowers, monuments, etc from magazines, old stationery, gift-wrapping paper, etc. Arrange this on the tray in the way you want it to finally appear.Take the paper cut outs, apply Mod Podge on the reverse side, and stick them on the tray, smoothening them out to remove any creases.Leave the tray to dry; then apply another coat of Mod Podge over it.Let it dry; then apply a layer of varnish. Allow this to dry, before you start using your tray.

Herbed candles in a mason jarTake a mason jar or any glass jar. Fill it with herbs and citrus fruits of your choice—slices of lemon or orange and a few sprigs of rosemary or lemongrass.Pour water into the jar till three-fourth full.Tie a decorative ribbon around the neck of the jar.Place a floating candle in the jar and light it. The heat from the candle will diffuse the aromas of the herbs and fruit. Perfect to use if you have invited guests over this weekend.
